| About Grace |
| |
Grace Barrak creates original fine art in glass. Her blown and torched-crafted work includes small sculpture, jewelry, beads and vessels. Barrak works with varied themes including sea life, insects and botanicals, and fantasy symbols.
Her combinations of selected glass, precious metals, minerals and gems result in pieces that feature a glowing luminosity, light refraction, and magnification. She teaches workshops, accepts custom commissions and exhibits her work at shows throughout Southern California. |
Barrak works in various themes and series. Her sea life series features life-size conch shells, sea horses, and baby octopus. The shells often have an interior of infused metals that results in a luminous glow from within. |
Her insect and botanical series features dragonflies, miniature wings, butterflies and lotus, which is done by embedding color inside clear glass. Her fantasy symbol series includes heart, teardrop and geometric formed pieces in fumed and transparent color.
She will sometimes encase a gem, opal or poridot inside these pieces creating a magnifying effect and illuminated detail. Barrak presents her pieces as vessels, sculpture, beads, marbles and jewelry in her own metal settings. She also creates corporate gift sets and commissioned trophies which may include etchings and monograms. Her work is contemporary and sometimes has references to Art Nouveau.
